Professor Nenad Kecmanović stated that Sarajevo is still more recognized globally by Gavrilo Princip, whom they have renounced, than by the Winter Olympics, and that the descendants of the bashers who, after the assassination on Vidovdan in 1914, smashed the windows of Serbian shops, do not mention him “to avoid scaring away the protectorate.”
Kecmanović pointed out that during the time of “Euro-American integrations,” Bosnian Muslims again disguised themselves as Europeans, but in Vienna and Brussels, they are only recognized by Islamic terrorism, and also by their traditional dress, tulumbas, jamec, and mezze.
“They would have fared better if they had presented themselves as the countrymen and fellow citizens of the young Serb patriot who killed the would-be emperor and occupier of BiH and sparked the Great War. Even today, Sarajevo is more recognized in the world by him than by the Winter Olympics,” said Kecmanović.
He also noted that teenagers from Stolac and Herzegovina have been fascinated for generations by their mysterious fellow citizen Mustafa Golubović, a Young Bosnian, Serb, Yugoslav, Black Hand member, and assassin, as a youthful role model.
Kecmanović mentioned that “Muharem Bazdulj tells that the literary youth of Travnik, because of Travnik Chronicle by Ivo Andrić, saw him as someone close, their own, and themselves as legitimate heirs of his work and inspiration that is not just literary.”
“Gavrilo was part of that society which conspiratorially met in the ‘Golden Sturgeon’ tavern near Belgrade’s Zeleni Venac market, not only as a Young Bosnian conspirator,” Kecmanović wrote in an article for “Politika.”
He reminded that the walls of Princip’s cell in Terezín bear the inscription: “And our shadows will walk through Vienna and scare the lords in their palaces.”
“Like ‘Stolački Mujka’ and ‘Fra Beg Ivo,’ Gavrilo still has young followers, Sarajevans who joke about everything, including themselves and what shouldn’t be joked about, saying that ‘Schmidt does not leave the well-guarded OHR building on Vidovdan,'” Kecmanović noted.
He pointed out that the monument to the Vidovdan Martyrs remains in now inhospitable Sarajevo, which treats Gavrilo as a “Serbian terrorist” – almost as a precursor to the “genocidal” Srebrenica perpetrators.
“And the descendants of the bashers, who smashed the windows of Serbian shops after the assassination, do not mention him to avoid scaring away and driving out the protectorate,” said Kecmanović.
He reminded that Princip’s dilapidated house near Grahovo, without any markings “now in the other entity, was repaired by the authorities from Banja Luka.”
“In the park on Nemanjina Street, closer to the former railway station, there has been a bronze bust of Gavrilo Princip in life size for several years – a gift from Republika Srpska to Belgrade,” Kecmanović pointed out.
He added that Princip “was happy to attend the All-Serb Assembly live back then.”
“And in his until-the-war one hundred percent Serbian Grahovo, they rejoiced, but in grave silence,” Kecmanović noted.
